Driver dies after royal family car attack

The man who killed five people with his car in an attack on the Dutch royal family has died of his injuries today.

Karst Tates, 38, had been in a critical condition since the attack during the Netherlands Queen’s Day holiday yesterday.

Prosecutors confirmed his death today.

Tates had reportedly lost his job as a security guard and was facing eviction.

Twelve other people were hurt when he rammed his car through police barricades and into onlookers as he sped towards an open-topped bus carrying Queen Beatrix.
